Citing a slight chance of conviction, the State Attorney's Office announced this week it will decline to prosecute a man and woman arrested in June on accusations of robbing two people of cash and pills.

According to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the male victim told Detective Ray Dwyer that he went with a female companion to a Belleview shopping mall to meet with Delucian and Voll, where he planned to sell oxycodone pills to Delucian.

According to the victim, Delucian drew a gun during the meeting and pointed it at him before making off with pills, $115 cash from his pocket and the female victim's purse and wallet.

Delucian and Voll ran from the area, but a Sheriff's K-9 deputy located them at a nearby residence. Each was arrested on grand theft and strong-arm robbery charges.

While the victims were talkative with law enforcement after the incident, they now are nowhere to be found.

"Under these facts and circumstances, the chance of conviction is slight," Assistant State Attorney Nick Camuccio wrote in a recent court filing. "The victims could not be located despite attempts by investigators to find them. If the victims are located this case may be re-examined."

According to Marion County Jail records, both Delucian and Voll have been behind bars since their arrest last month. They were released this week after the state filed its announcement.
